Working to catch up with my blog postings.

I've not entered the BoldBrush Competition lately. This, my 2nd month to post in 2015. In the past, I've always given you a link to the monthly artists competition feeling you would enjoy seeing exceptional artwork. My last posting in February had over 1600 artist's entries. Not sure how the juror can preview this many paintings and have the winners selected before the end of the month.

My intent is to share the opportunity to see and find artists whose work, style, subject, medium and websites, where you can see their selected body of work, which speaks to the joy of art in your life.

Because I just posted, my watercolor is at the end of the first rows. Cutoff time is mid-night Central Standard Time (San Antonio, TX).

I posted my watercolor just juried into the Northern Arizona Watercolor Society's Spring Show:

"Santa Fe Sunlit Patio"

22" X 30" full sheet watercolor

This watercolor is currently showcased on my website home page. Take a look see.

Here is your link to the April BoldBrush Competition.

Enjoy the experience. This will be more fun and work than walking into a retail gallery. Would like to see your mental washed with so much fine art you come away confused. This is a good thing. Take a deep breath. Go back the next day and do it again "Sam." Would love to hear your thoughts.

Wishing a Happy Mother's Day to ALL.

    Have laughter, ease, grace and joy in your day.

New Juried Show in Phoenix

On this Easter weekend my Arizona Watercolor Association juried watercolor “The Outlook, Texas Green Jay” delivered to the Burton Barr Central Library second floor, 1221 N. Central Ave, for the annual AWA spring show in cooperation with the Phoenix Public Library. The show will be open from April 4 through May 2.  Show juror was Eric Wiegardt AWS-DF, NWS he has taught over 5,000 watercolorists his popular “Secrets of Painting Loose” workshops. Over 4,000 of his originals have been collected privately and corporately. If you’re in the Phoenix area, stop by the library to enjoy the show.

It is always a great experience to be juried into the AWA shows in Phoenix. Currently I'm a juried Silver Signature member working close to becoming a Gold Signature member. This means I can now put an AWA after my signature on my paintings. That is if I remember to sign with the AWA.
